Transform vs Transmit

We each carry a certain amount of pain from our very birth. If that pain is not healed and transformed, it actually increases as we grow older, and we transmit it to people around us. We can become violent in our attitudes, gestures, words, and actions. 

Jesus became the crucified so we would stop crucifying. He refused to transmit his pain on to others.
